 Notes & Reviews
 
 
The gentleman of traditional 'old time' banjo. Archival material from the Smithsonian, recorded in 1949 plus several tracks from the 1920s. An absolute must for students of American folk music history or old time banjo playing.
- Alan Cheshire, 04/11/1998, Australia

Full title is: Ballads, Banjo Tunes and Sacred Songs of Western North Carolina


19 traditional tunes from the 'Minstrel of the Appalachians,' taken from '20s recordings for the Brunswick label and 1949 Library of Congress sessions, including the now-famous Old Mountain Dew; I Wish I Was a Mole in the Ground; Dry Bones, and more.
